Good care of Bonsais - Doctor Needed!

It had been too late to in the bonsai doctor. My dwarf juniper is dead. I'm now trying again using a second bonsai but have this time around ensured I understand the straightforward tips needed for good care of bonsais. Who'd have thought, if the leaves on my tree began turning brown, it wasn't a lack of water, but an over abundance. However I only agreed to be creating a level bigger problem. A Juniper likes dry soil. I had been drowning the indegent thing.

Bonsais can be achieved from a countless selection of trees and each different type prefers quite different care. Ensure, when you buy your tree, you may well ask which type then it is you will be able to find out just what conditions it prefers. It should then be considered a easy a few selecting the best environment to maintain your plant healthy and happy. Some, like my juniper, thrive in almost drought conditions, others like damp soil.

Bonsais could be kept with your house or perhaps in a pleasant spot within your garden or on your own patio - Outdoor plants do not always thrive well when brought indoors because the temperature and quantity of light they receive may not be suitable. It's a good idea to mist your indoor bonsai with water as much like a humid atmosphere. Again - what suits one plant may not suit another, and that's why it's important to understand the name of one's particular tree.

While watering is crucial towards the care of bonsais, so too will be the kind of soil. Again you should understand what kind of tree you have so that you can ensure it's potted in the right soil and know you're feeding it the best sort of fertilizer at the correct time.

Generally speaking, experts recommend a mix of around 30 % sandy grit and 70 % humus for deciduous trees and vice verse for evergreen needle plants. Hopefully, if you've bought your plant from a specialist or garden shop they have got the soil mix right. It does pay to test, however, as staff in a few non-specialty stores might know less about the good care of bonsai trees than you.

Bonsais generally must be re-potted every two to five years. Again its smart to obtain some advice on the pot size and soil. Re-potting is also enough time to complete your root and branch pruning. This is when your artistic flair involves the fore. Regular pruning for the care of bonsais can be achieved through pinching off new growth along with your thumb and forefinger.

Wire and pruning may be used to encourage your bonsai to grow into the desired, artistic shape. I didn't learn this all information before it was past too far to save my first bonsai. However I now have the right knowledge to ensure my replacement tree doesn't suffer the identical fate.
